Week 8 Meal Plan


Now on Week 8 of cooking almost all meals at home and working out. This way of eating is starting to be a habit for me. On my most recent cheat day I felt so sick I had to take Tums to fall asleep. I think my body is used to going without fried food and junk. I also don't have to look at every label before putting food on my plate because I can usually guess how many calories are in it and how much would be a serving.

The menu for this week-

Spanish Rice Bake with ground turkey (350 cal)
Curried Coconut Chicken (375 cal)
Zippy Summer Shrimp (238 cal) and Roasted Potatoes with Greens (339)
Grilled Fajita Chicken with Calabacitas (148 cal)

and Irish Ploughman's Lunch for St. Patricks Day which will consist of Chicken Apple Sausage, Salad, Cheese and Brown Soda Bread! I got the idea from Prudence Pennywise. I have only made bread from scratch once before. It was french bread. I could not get it to rise. But anything is good hot with butter on it so we ate it anyway! I'm thinking the soda bread might be easier since it does not call for yeast.

On to week 8! Weigh in is on tuesday.

I am so proud of you Jill! That is awesome. I need to get my body back to not being used to fast food. I don't eat fast food often, but I don't go long enough to get sick from it, lol. I remember one time McDonald's made me sick because I had not eaten it in a year! Go you!
